Ahead of the 50th anniversary episode of Doctor Who we have caught up with our Who Watching authors to ask a few questions about the significance of the milestone, as well as exploring their love for series.

Since Doctor Who’s return in 2005, the special Christmas Day episode has established itself as a major festive treat, but back in the ’70s or ’80s, if you wanted new Doctor Who on Christmas Day, you had to turn to the man with the big sack.

This we like: ‘Although not an official release from the BBC, Graham Sleight’s The Doctor’s Monsters deserves all the accolade and respect that the aforementioned corporation gets with their own titles.’
